About the Championship

The Eastern Surfing Association, ESA, is the largest amateur surfing association in the world. Its family oriented programs encourage an active, healthy lifestyle, with members of the same family—sometimes spanning two or three generations—often participating and competing together.

The Mid-Atlantic Surfing Regionals offer a rare chance to watch the East Coast's best surfers compete. Held on the beach beside Jennette's Pier, the event gives the country's top surfers waves suited to high-level competition. Eleven time world professional surfing champion Kelly Slater and former world professional women's surfing champion Lisa Anderson both developed their competitive abilities through the Eastern Surfing Association.

Visitors may settle onto the sand with a beach towel or beach chair and take in the skill and talent displayed in the water. Competition continues across multiple days, and spectators are invited to support their favorites in an atmosphere that is both competitive and welcoming. A walk along Jennette's Pier also offers an elevated view of the action.

This spring OBX event delivers an impressive showcase of surfing and is a can't-miss part of a coastal getaway.
